We all go through difficult times and need the support of friends and loved ones to overcome them. But there are cases, where even the support of loved ones is not enough to overcome the inevitable, especially when it comes to the tragic end of a person, worse than a mother. And it is here that the miraculous nature of the story we tell you today makes perfect sense.

In France, amniotic embolism accounts for 10% of maternal deaths, placing this case in second place in the ranking of the most deadly pregnancy complications. The researchers think that it is caused by the contact of the amniotic fluid with the cells and blood circulation of the mother.

Composed largely of water (97%), amniotic fluid also contains fetal cells and urine. When, sometimes during childbirth, it comes into contact with the mother's blood circulation via the veins of the uterus, it is at the origin of a rather rapid and sudden reaction in the body of the uterus. The vital prognosis is then engaged, which was the case for Mélanie Pritchard.

What no one expected ended up happening

Doug and Melanie Pritchard, married for 3 years, were expecting a sweet birth for their second child who was soon to come into the world. Melanie's pregnancy had gone well, but when she arrived at the hospital, everything changed completely.

While waiting for the childbirth , Melanie told one of the midwives that something was wrong. She had a feeling of dizziness and nausea. The doctors then tried to find what could be hidden behind this unforeseen, except that the diagnoses did not indicate absolutely anything abnormal, that it is at its level, or that of the baby.

After, everything went on pretty fast. Melanie's health plummeted dramatically and every monitor in her hospital room began to beep frantically. Melanie's heart had let go. The mother had suffered from amniotic embolism, which is a rare emergency in childbirth.

The Childbirth ends, but not as expected

Melanie was given emergency care and her baby was successfully born by caesarean section. But she had not escaped because she was pronounced dead and her family members came to say goodbye. The doctors said that this mother needed a heart or lung transplant and that even if she survived, she would probably suffer brain damage for the rest of her life.

They told Doug to prepare to say goodbye to his wife. He then bent over her to say goodbye and give him one last kiss. He whispered in his ear just after, "Do not give up, fight."

The Return To Life

Almost 24 hours after Melanie lost consciousness, she opened her eyes again. Her husband then showed her a picture of their daughter, Gabriella, who had survived against all odds while Melanie was fighting for her life. It was difficult to describe the joy that the couple could feel.

A few hours later, Melanie was able to do without artificial respiration. And despite all the prognosis of the doctors, she did not need any transplant. She even managed to heal without any treatment and it took only one week for her to return to her family as if nothing had happened.

"His healing was a miracle. The very fact that she is still alive is a miracle. Says Doug Pritchard.

We can only confirm the words of this husband who was on the verge of losing his darling and the mother of his children without being able to do anything. Melanie's story has certainly had a happy ending, but it makes us reflect on the power that love can have in our respective lives and also on the fact that miracles do exist.
